Is Nokia jumping into a burning vessel called Microsoft ?
Is nokia in the path of self destruction ? this was the question came to my mind when i heard the nokia is going to tie knot with microsoft and hit the iceberg before sinking itself, i don't know whether nokia is being egoistic or hatred towards the android, one thing for sure their market share is declining like a collapsing world trade center day by day, if this continues you can see "Defunct company" in wikipedia about Nokia corporation, I also suspect whether it is the plan of Microsoft to take over Nokia Strategically?.
So who will benefit from this partnering?
It would definitely workout well for microsoft because its getting a partner who is pioneer in quality hardware than any other players in the market but for nokia for sure its a risk that costs its own survival for future, since the partnering makes nokia a handset builder rather than having any control over its software platform. and yes windows mobile developers like me who was planning to switch to other mobile development platforms like android will surely benefit from this.
Is nokia ignorant or headstrong in its decision?
I think nokia is very overconfident in repeating history since it revived a legacy dying platform called psion epoc and built a new platform called symbian over it, though there is every chance of windows phones os to again take over the control of market share since nokia has the capacity to manufacture wide variety of handsets from touch to qwerty with its strong hardware platform combined with windows 7 awesome form factor and user experince i think google has to be cautious and step a head now.
Though nokia would have been seen a double success rate if it has tied up with googles android since most of the people even non techies know the fact that nokias powerful hardware coupled with android would be a killer device, i know many of uncles and aunts who are technically challenged are seeking for "Nokia ANdroid Phones" but this common perception of people is some how masked by the people at Nokia by their strong hatred and egoism.
What ever it is bottom line "nokia is jumping from one sinking platform(symbian) to another (windows phone 7)"

What will be the Dearness Allowance from January 2011 ?
The AICPI for all the 12 months are now published in Labour Bureau website. According to this Website the AICPI-IW for 12 months are given below.
January-172
Febraury-170
March-170
April-170
May-172
June-174
July-178
August-178
September-179
October-181
November-182
December-185
Now the prediction and calculation over Dearness Allowance will come to an end. According to the All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers for the last 12 months, it is expected that the Dearness Allowance will be 51% from January 2011.As we expected earlier, additional 6% will be added to the existing D.A of 45%..Hence we can expect that 51% Dearness Allowance will be paid to all the Central Government Employees from January 2011, if so government decides. The Government may take a decision in this matter by first week of March 2011.
Some of our viewers have raised the same question again and again in the comments forum that if D.A crosses 50% level whether it would be merged with D.A or not. It has been clarified that the D.A will not be merged with basic pay since it was not recommended by 6CPC.
But if the D.A crosses 50% level, some of the Allowances, which are compensatory in nature, will be raised by 25% as per the recommendation of 6CPC.
These Allowances are,
1. Children Education Assistance & Reimbursement of Tuition Fee
2. Advances for purchase of Bicycle Advacne, Warm clothing Advance, Festival Advance, Natural Calamity Advance
3. Special Compensatory Hill Area Allowance
4. Special CompensatoryScheduled / Tribal Area Allowance
5. Project Allowance
6. Speical Compensatory (Remote Locality) Allowance
7. Cycle Maintenance Allowance
8. Mileage for road journey all components of daily allowance on tour, rate of transportation of personal effects.
9. Rates of Conveyance Allowance under SR-25
10. Washing Allowance
11. Split Duty Allowance
12. Spl. Allowance for Child Care for Women with Disabilities and Education Allowance
for disabled children
13. Cash Handling Allowance
14. Risk Allowance
15. Postgraduate Allowance
16. Desk Allowance
17. Bad Climate Allowance

House Rent Allowance on Income Tax :-
How to calculate the Income Tax exemption on House Rent Allowance...
If an employee is living in a rented house, exemption is allowed to the extent of the least of the following...
Actual House Rent Allowance received from your employer
Actual House Rent paid excess of 10% of salary
50% of basic salary, if residence is in a metro or 40% of salary in non-metros.
For example :
If an employee is getting basic pay of Rs.15,000 pm, and HRA is 4,500. He is paying rent as Rs.2,500
calculation of amount of House Rent Allowance admissible for imcome tax exemption will be...
1. HRA received (12 x 4,500 = 54,000) : 54,000
2. Rent paid in excess of 10% (30,000 - 18,000) : 12,000
3. 50% of salary : 90,000
Out of the total of House Rent Allowance of Rs.54,000 received, Rs.12,000 which is the lease of the three items is admissible for income tax exemption. So the balance of Rs.42,000 will be include under income.
Inflation impact: Govt may hike tax exemption limit
New Delhi, Feb 1 (PTI) Tax payers can expect some relief from high inflation in Budget 2011-12 as the government may raise the income tax exemption limit for individuals.
"Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee is alive to the price situation and its impact on the common man," sources said, adding he would favourably consider the issue of hiking tax exemption limit.
Moreover, they said, as the government is committed to raise the income tax exemption limit from Rs 1.6 lakh per annum to Rs 2 lakh in line with the Direct Taxes Code (DTC) in 2012-13, tax payers could expect at least some relief in the upcoming Budget on February 28.
"The finance ministry would keep in mind the high inflation in the Budget. Since there is no dearness allowance for a vast section of the society, hike in income tax exemption limit is likely," a source told PTI.
